Cleveland Browns like Matt Barkley, will study OU's Landry Jones

Despite drafting Oklahoma State's Brandon Weeden last year and signing Jason Campbell as a backup, the Cleveland Browns are still looking at quarterbacks.

A source told the Cleveland Plain Dealer that the Browns won't rule out trading backup Colt McCoy. Meanwhile, offensive coordinator Norv Turner said he was impressed with quarterback Matt Barkley at his USC Pro Day.
Browns CEO Joe Banner said at the NFL combine that a quarterback is "not the focus" with the team's first-round pick, but the club continues to do their due diligence. They'll conduct a private workout with West Virginia's Geno Smith and will bring Arizona dual-threat passer Matt Scott for a pre-draft visit. They're also studying Oklahoma's Landry Jones, Florida State's E.J. Manuel and Syracuse's Ryan Nassib.
